"Networking is fun!"
And fun it is! We had a blast with Heidi Hughes joining us Thursday afternoon to give us expert advice and tips on professional networking in a business environment.
Heidi is the Manager of Conference Sales & Marketing at Anvil Centre, a brand new conference centre opening in New Westminster in 2014. She is also affiliated with our Parent Chapter as Director of Student Affairs for MPI BC.
Heidi talked about her networking experiences in the industry and how networking opportunities have helped her with employment later on. To quote her words of wisdom: "It's not about what you know. It's not about who you know. It's about who knows you."
The MPI BCIT team would like to thank Heidi for sharing her experiences and providing the students with 16 helpful tips for networking. We appreciate her recommendations and taking time to answer students' questions.
Now that we've gained insights from a business expert, it's time to get ourselves out there and make those connections!
